Battle of Changping Chapter 138 Saving Zhao is not a matter of defeating Qin
"And if we delay for a long time, our Zhao army is very likely to surrender to the Qin army in the realm of no food, you must know that our Zhao army has been besieged for 12 days, and my army has been completely out of food two days ago. If it weren't for General Zhao Kuo fighting with his life and spilling blood on the battlefield, I am afraid that the Zhao army would have collapsed at this time. Lian Po's tone was obviously a little unkind.
"But ......" Xin Lingjun still wanted to argue, but Lian Po interrupted: "If I only want to relieve the siege of the Zhao army, I only need to lead the Wei army to Hanoi to force the Qin army to return to the army, so that Wei and Qin will really have a bloody battle!" ”
Xin Lingjun looked at the map, indeed, a typical "encirclement of Wei to save Zhao". He knew this all too well! After all, the position of the former overlord of the Central Plains of his own Wei State was defeated by Sun Bin's "besieging Wei to save Zhao".
I don't know if he was persuaded by Lian Po and had other plans, Xin Lingjun did not refute Lian Po, but asked respectfully: "If it is according to the will of the old general Lian, how should our army behave?" ”
When Lian Po heard this, he immediately struck while the iron was hot, pointed to Yutu and said: "Our army is only more than 30 miles away from the main battlefield, and it can reach the battlefield in half a day. ”
"With the intention of this general, when the overnight action, Yu Chen arrived at the periphery of the main battlefield, and Chen Shi could take advantage of the Qin army to attack the Zhao army, and insert it obliquely from the southeast, flanking the main force of the Qin army, and annihilating the main force of the Qin army, and then ......" Lian Po just wanted to draw a big cake, but was ruthlessly interrupted by Xinlingjun.
"Old General Lian, and slowly." Xin Lingjun also walked in front of Yutu and said calmly: "The general's intention is to join forces with the Zhao army to attack the Qin army?" ”
"That's nature!" Lian Po replied.
"Benjun naturally believes in General Lian Po's tactics, and the combined attack of the two armies is indeed the best tactic to break Qin." Xin Lingjun paused slightly, then turned to Lian Po, and asked rather unceremoniously: "If the old general Lian is the chief general of the Zhao army, this gentleman will naturally be relieved, but the current general of the Zhao army is still the same as Zhao Kuo." The old general Lian must not blame Benjun for spending the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, how does Benjun know that the current commander of the Zhao army, seeing the Wei army coming to help, will he immediately send troops to help, or wait on the spot and lead to trouble? ”
After asking a question, it was very difficult for Lian to answer, because the actual situation now is that Zhao Guo wants Wei to fight the thunder, although the way is slightly different from what Xin Lingjun thought.
In the face of Xin Lingjun's inquiry, Lian Po couldn't say that he believed Zhao Kuo, right? That contradicts the character of "incompatible with Zhao Kuo" that has always been established.
As for what to say, this is the right choice that any general will make, in order to defeat the Qin State, Zhao Kuo will definitely kill as soon as possible and cooperate with the Wei army. However, such a statement is obviously not convincing at all.
This is the Warring States! It's not the spring and autumn of "knowing etiquette". Of the seven countries that can be killed in the Spring and Autumn Period, which country has not thoroughly referred to the four words "treachery".
But what else can you say otherwise? You can't sneak back to control Zhao Jun to gain trust, right? In that case, you can rest assured of me, but I am not worried about you - what if I am preparing for war over there, and your side is slow to move?
Just as Lian Po was thinking about how to solve this problem, Xin Lingjun over there continued to ask questions step by step: "What's more: Now that the Zhao army has been trapped for a long time, according to the scout news, even General Zhao Kuo was seriously injured and dying, so I don't know if the Zhao army still has the strength to fight?" ”
"What does Xinlingjun mean by this?" Lian Po turned his head and looked at Xinlingjun calmly.
Xinlingjun also did not show weakness, looked at Lian Po quietly, and said slowly: "Benjun led more than 100,000 Wei soldiers to come, in order to inflict a heavy blow on the Qin army, and he was ashamed of the snow, and everything he thought about was the defeat of Qin. However, if there is no major certainty, Benjun would rather Wei Jun come to this trip in vain! ”
The words fell, and the silence in the camp was terrifying.
At this point, Lian Po naturally understood what Xin Lingjun meant: if you want the Wei army to join the battlefield, you must fight the Zhao army first, and you must fight back and forth with the Qin army, so that the Wei army can take advantage of it.
However, his family knows his own family affairs, and in the early stage of attacking the fortress and the bloody battle in the north, there must have been quite a lot of casualties in the army, plus there are 100,000 elites of the Zhao army hidden in the big grain mountain, and now among the besieged Zhao army, I am afraid that more than half of them are the young and strong people, and the combat power can be seen.
Take the initiative to attack, but also attack beautifully!
Difficult!
What's even more difficult is that the requirements on his side can't be conveyed to Zhao Kuo's ears at all. The original plan was that the Zhao army was trapped and waited for the Wei army to come to the rescue, and with the Qin and Wei wars, and even after the defeat of both sides, the besieged army of the Zhao army and the elite of the Great Grain Mountain came out together, and the inside and outside should be combined in order to severely damage the Qin army and drag down the Wei army.
In this way, the fruits of victory will fall into the hands of Zhao State.
But how can this be told to Xinlingjun?
Faced with Xin Lingjun's question, Lian Po couldn't answer at all, and couldn't even do anything to change Xin Lingjun's cognition.
Lian Po also never expected that when the matter came, Xinling Jun would actually retreat like the King of Wei.
Once Xinlingjun really did not move, Lian Po didn't know how to end the battle, that is, no matter how much grain the Zhao army carried, it would be a day when it would be exhausted, and at that time, should it sit back and watch the Zhao army in the encirclement be divided and encircled and eliminated, or should the elite soldiers in the mountains of the Great Grain Mountain fight another battle with the Qin army?
If it really comes to that point, even if the Zhao army in the encirclement is finally rescued, I am afraid that not only will the results of the party not necessarily fall into the pocket of Zhao State, but even the national strength of Zhao State will decline greatly from then on, so it is impossible to say that it will withdraw from the stage of hegemony.
Facing Xin Lingjun's sudden backstabbing, although Lian Po was in a turbulent mood in his heart, his face did not change slightly, he just looked at Xin Lingjun quietly, as if he wanted to find a possible flaw in Xin Lingjun's face.
It's a pity that he is not facing the enemy on the battlefield, but the old fritter in the political arena, and the things he recognizes, how can there be any fluctuations and changes because of Lian Po's gaze, let alone put the flaws on his face and let others visit.
Of course, Xin Lingjun's words were naturally a clear backstab to Lian Po and Zhao Jun, but for Wei State, he was worthy of the respect of the prince of Wei State. Especially if Xinling Jun stole the talisman to save Zhao, if he can't make a meritorious service, I'm afraid that what awaits him will be refrigerated even if it is not a prison.
In the face of such a situation, Xinling Jun still maintained absolute calm, objectively assessed the form of the battlefield, and based the interests of Wei on his own personal interests. It is indeed worthy of the title of the four sons of the Warring States.
